America is looking good and the warm winter continues to bless us
as we drive east on interstate 10. Very dry until we were east of Fort Stockton,
Texas, then the ground was green from recent rains. The green growth continued

set a world record. Some wonder what it's like to fly at a place like Zapata or
other world class sites. Cloudsuck answers these and other questions while
